Abstract excerpt
Chelerythrine and sanguinarine, two structurally related benzo/c/phenanthridine alkaloids, prevented growth of yeast cells in medium containing either glucose or non-fermentable carbon sources. At concentrations permitting growth of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chelerythrine, but not sanqu...
